Sydney Experience Intermission

Ok before I continue with the rest of the Sydney blog, I am going to give you my quick thoughts on the town of Sydney.

- It is nice and warm, I could totally deal with that type of weather in the winter.
- People are pretty friendly in Sydney, seem to always be willing to help or have a chat.
- The poverty is more apparent, they don't try to keep it out of the CBD like they do in Melbourne
- Peak hours in the CBD are toxic, it must be all those buses and the shitload of people on the sidewalks, really hard to breathe.
- There are about 1 billion Oporto chicken places in Sydney and about 2 KFC's, God damn it when I want chicken I want KFC!
- I saw 4 Westpac skyscrapers in the CBD, 4! Westpac branches and ATMs were everywhere as well.
- People in Sydney talk about AFL now.
- The public transport system is hella expensive, but easy to use and on time, but man paying $12 to go from the airport 5 stations to the CBD seems very expensive.
- The CBD itself is much larger than I remember it.
- The airport feels like a proper airport.
- Driving around the CBD looks like a nightmare.

In other thoughts, I know this is terrible but when I went to theage.com.au website just before I saw this picture and thought "omg it's Ramman!"

AAMP, Commonwealth & Telstra have four or five each too. Sydney CBD is heaps bigger than Melbourne's one, which means that yeh it's kinda grotty in peak hour and traffic is a dog - that's why I'm getting the motorbikies!

I used to have the ramman where you shoved his legs up inside and there was some release mechanism that made him ram stuff. Oh, and you're going straight to hell.
